By Joy Nevin Axelson
I see now as through darkened glass. On this side, nothing’s clear to me. The other side eludes me still, and hid behind the glass, glory. Angels long to pierce the veil, just to glimpse His perfect plan. A pilgrim here, I know too well how short my meager life will span. Windows straddling heaven and earth, have finally been opened wide, as I traverse this unclear path, bathed in blessings at His side. When I arrive in Zion’s sun with all my worries laid to rest, I’ll know as I am known by Him, my tapestry unfolded, blessed.
